How do I extract the NetIQ UNIX Agent 7.1 from the UNIX7.1.iso.Z archive provided on the website?

• Extract the files directly from the gziped iso using a utility such as WinRAR.
• Extract the iso and mount it via a virtual cd application.
• Extract the iso and burn it to a dvd.

The following are popular applications which shouldn't have any problems extracting the NetIQ UNIX Agent 7.1 on Windows.  Please note that NetIQ is not associated with these companies and does not provide support for these products.

Extract the iso or files from the iso:

• WnRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/)
• WinZIP (http://www.winzip.com/)
• WinACE (http://www.winace.com/)

Mount the iso image:

• Microsoft Virtual CDROM (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916902)
• CloneDrive (http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html)
• Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc)

1. gunzip UNIX7.1.iso.Z
2. mkdir /tmp/netiq
3. mount -o loop UNIX7.1.iso /tmp/netiq

The iso can also be burned to a dvd in Linux and some Unices via the cdrecord command:

1. gunzip UNIX7.1.iso.Z
2. cdrecord -vv -tao UNIX7.1.iso   (as root or a user with permissions to access the cd drive)

It was decided that the NetIQ UNIX Agent 7.1 should ship as a gziped iso instead of an iso packed within a Windows executable to be more cross-platform friendly and allow UNIX administrators to gain access to the NetIQ UNIX Agent 7.1 without a Microsoft Windows system.
